ADVERTISING DEVICE.

Application :[iled August 25, 1919.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, SAMUEL SCHLUP, a citizen oit the United States of America, and resident of Cambridge, in the county of Guernsey and State ot' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Il'nprovements in Advertising Devices, of which the ollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to advertising devices, and has 'for its object the provision of novel means whereby a member may be caused to ioat on water and exhibit signs or advertising matter, the said invention comprising a hollow body with sides adapted to receive the advertising matter for disil, still further object of this invention is to provide means for anchoring the floating device so that` it may be held practically stationary.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part oi' this specification wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views and in which- Figure 1 illustrates a plan view;

Fig. 2 illustrates side elevation partly in section;

Fig. 3 illustrates plan view of side 14.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 319,712.

In these drawings I show a hollow body in which a portion of the top 13 is flat and there is a depending portion 14 forming a shoulder-like structure which will stand practically at right angles to the surface of the water on which the body is floating. portion of the cover or top 15 is inclined, whereas the bottom 18 is straight. The right end 17 is similar to the top 15 and fastening devices such as clips 18 and rings 19 are employed at the rear, whereas the clip 20 embraces the reduced forward end and holds the ring 21 to which a chain or the like may be connected.

In this form advertising matter can be placed on the top 13, on the shoulder 14, and on the inclined top 15.

The walls and joints are made water tight so that the device will float when put in water and chains or other anchoring means may be applied to the rings Jfor holding the device or for towing it.

T claim- In an advertising device, a body having a portion of its top flat and a portion inclined, a vertically disposed shoulder between the two portions of the top, the said body having approximately vertically disposed sides and an end, a clip embracing the top and bottom of the said body at the forward end and having anchoring connections' therein, and means at the rear of the said body for receiving anchoring connections.

SAMUE L SCHLUP It is hereby certified that in Letters Patent No. 1,332,274, granted March 2, 1920,

upon the application of Samuel Schlup, for an improvement lin Advertising Devices, en error appears requiring correction as follows: In the grant and in the heading t0 the printed specification the residence of they potentee is erroneously given as Cambridge, Massachusetts, Whereas said residence should have been given as Cambridge, Ohio; and that the said Letters Patent should be read With this correction therein that the same may conform to the record of the case in the Patent Office.
